The former Winberie's in Wayne has been refashioned as Black Powder Tavern (1164 Valley Forge Rd., 610-293-9333). The New American restaurant has a gluten-free menu that includes grilled pork wings, salads, vegetarian chili and protein dishes. Angry Orchard hard cider is currently on tap and Strongbow cider is served in bottles.

Reader Chris M. let me know that Crêperie Béchamel, also in Wayne (11 Louella Ct., 610-964-9700), serves gluten-free sweet and savory crepes made with buckwheat batter. The kitchen has a protocol in place for preparation of the gluten-free crepes, though there isn't a separate griddle.

Most plates at Manayunk's new Taqueria Feliz (4410 Main St., 267-441-5874), sister restaurant to La Calaca Feliz and Cantina Feliz, are gluten free. Corn tortillas can be subbed for any menu option that lists flour tortillas; there's even a gluten-free tempura batter for the Ensanada-style fish tacos, made with blue tilapia. The kitchen only prepares gluten-free items in the fryer.

Santa has already arrived at the Moorestown Mall (400 Rt. 38), where Marc Vetri's acclaimed Philly Italian Osteria (856-316-4427) is slated to open a second location on Monday. General manager Martin Cugine says that gluten-free options will be available. New to the mall's food court is all-vegetarian Green Medley, (856-866-8181), which offers a variety of gluten-free salads, smoothies and juices.
